I couldn't be more pleased with my entire purchase experience with BikesDirect. I absolutely love the Gravity mountain bike I selected! Fantastic quality at an affordable price...it doesn't get any better than that. Dealing with the folks at BikesDirect was a total pleasure throughout the entire process. Their representative Karla made sure I was kept abreast of my order status each step of the way. My bike arrived in excellent condition straight out of the shipping box. Kuddos to the shipping folks who figured out how to pack it so well. All in all, I couldn't be more pleased. I wouldn't hesitate to order another bike from BikesDirect!

I purchased an Immortal Spirit from Bikesdirect...I have ridden it 16,000 mile so far and envision many more miles in the years to come. I love that bike! I've gone through several sets of tires and the wheels still run true just like when they were new....The frame has proven to be responsive and durable and a delight to ride.
I have yet to mention the best part, I paid about 30% of what a similarly equipped bike would have set me back at my local bike shop. Believe me i check. I have recommend Bikesdirect.com to any of my friends who have expressed an interest in getting a bike.

Thanks for the great ride.

Bikes Direct offers quality and affordable bikes that get you way more bang for your buck than at your local bike shop.

I needed a new commuter bike and bought a Motobecane Vent Noir from Bikes Direct and it's been a very good experience.... I got a very smooth riding, beautiful bike that has a carbon fork and Tiagra/105, at a time when you pretty much have to spend at least a grand to get anything other than Sora from Trek, Specialized and all the other top brands.

I got good Ritchey stem/handlebars/seat post same as on my carbon race bike. Nice Vuelta wheels and nice tires. The seat is a bit mushy but fairly standard for bike in this price range. Handlebars came with an extra spacer and a longer stem so I could raise it beyond the factory setting. This bike even came with SPD pedals, for an additional savings from not having to purchase separately.

The bike came quickly and was very well packaged. No damage whatsoever even though the box took a beating....how much you'd have to shell out to get a comparable bike from Trek and other companies. And I can vouch they are right having owned or ridden said Treks, Specialized, Giants or high-end Schwinns.

...I endorse this store and experience completely.

Hey! Sorry For Late Reply, For I Have Been Busy.

I received the item on the 9th of February as posted in the Tracking. The box came in perfect condition! The item itself was in great condition as you have assured me. It took me about 1 hr to put it together since I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

I have taken it for a 10 mile ride today and it was flawless! Very quick and Very smooth. Thanks For Such A Great Bike! Surely A Price That Can't Be Beat!

Very Satisfied Customer. Will Refer Anyone Looking For Bikes To Your Page!

Regards,
Tony

Thank you so much!
I absolutely love my new bike! I got to take it for a couple rides so far and it is so smooth. It has been the envy around the office lately as well.

Many people told me that I got an awesome bike for a really great deal. I normally am quite the “customizer” as I had originally intended on painting it and changing out all of the parts (I chose this frame because I really liked the fork) but seeing it in person made me change my mind. It is the perfect shade of green and the white decaling is pretty slick looking too. Now I have reconsidered and decided that I will only paint it after I’ve taken enough spills that I ruin the paint.

Thank you again for helping me out. I really appreciate it!

Best Regards,

Laura

Dear BikesDirect,

Recently I became interested in road biking. I own 2 quality mountain bikes and with little knowledge about this area of biking, I attempted to learn where I might buy a moderately priced (about $1,000) road bike. After visiting a few local bicycle shops, and pricing their various stocks, I felt I might secure a better 'deal' on the Net.

Your shop was recommended and after speaking with one of your helpful telephone representatives, I ordered the Knight Windsor model (54). I was pleased to learn that the bike which normally sold for $1,800., was on sale for $900.00. I've received my bike and was further pleased to receive a telephone call from one of your technicians with a follow up check on my satisfaction.

It's gratifying to know there are still merchants who deliver what they promise and I would hardily recommend your shop to anyone interested in buying a new bike.

Keep up the good work.
Alan Lundy

Dear BikesDirect,

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks and commend you on a superb operation.

I approached buying a major item (like a high quality bike) on-line with a bit of trepidation.
But, I have been pleasantly surprised by every aspect of this transaction.

The process of ordering the bike, the immediate email confirmation, tracking while being shipped all helped to ease my mind.
When I rec'd the bike (just 4 short days after ordering) I was again impressed with the meticulous packing job.
The bike arrived without a scratch, was assembled without a glitch and has already provided me with hundreds of trouble-free and amazingly smooth, fast miles.

The Windsor Kennet is a fantastic bike and an outstanding value!

I tested C'dale Optimo's, Trek OCLVs, Fuji X-Fusions, Orbeas, LeMonds and others before settling on the Windsor. I most definitely made the right choice.

This is one amazing bike.
I have quickly become an enthusiastic promoter of BikesDirect in general and Windsors in particular.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have received my Motobecane Le Champion Team Road Bike. I am pleased
with the way the bike was shipped (no problems). I had my friend (a bike mechanic)
set it up for me. Everything was Ok. Road the bike several times and LOVE it.

Can't beat
the price, full bike with Dura Ace 10 for only 1795!!! This bike rides better then
my TREK Carbon! Thanks for a great deal!!!!

Happy and Satisfied Customer,

Donovan Flynn

Just wanted to send a quick message to let you know that the bike is fantastic.
I purchased the Mercier Draco AL with the full Ultegra groupo. I went on a 30 mile ride with some friends this weekend to dial the bike in and it bike performed even better than I expected.
The acceleration was quick, the handling was agile, and it was very comfortable.

As for Bike's Direct, I will recommend you to all of my friends due to your courtesy, customer support, and quality of product.
I received the bike within a couple days of ordering and the assembly was quite easy.
The bike was exactly as described on your web-site.
Please feel free to post my comments on your web site as an endorsement and testament to your business.
Take care.

I got my bike and took it for the first ride today and its great!
Its fast, smooth and light.

A super bike for the LOW price. IM going riding again tomorrow.
Thanks for the speedy shipping also.
Well packaged, not
a scratch.

I received my new bike last Thursday and assembled it right away, I took it
in for some final adjustments and the bike was ready to go. On Sunday I rode
it for the first time, 80 miles. It felt fantastic.

My friends were
impressed that I paid so little for such a good bike, and the kind of
components that it came with.
Thank you

Tim A.

WOW!!!! I just got finished with a final tune and about a 5 mile ride
(my third 5 mile trip of the day). The bike is incredible. Everything that I expected, and more!!

I looked at several local bike dealerships, and as expected my desire for; 7005 aluminum frame DB,
mid level shimano 105 components, OCR style wheels, clipless pedals and carbon fiber fork road bikes,
were in the $1000.00 to $1300.00 dollar range. All of those bikes were pre tax and sans clipless pedals.
That means the price was actually in the $1150.00 to $1500.00 dollar range.
I had the same quality road bike on my door-step for $745.00. "That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!"

Thanks for the excellent, and easy purchase of an equally excellent road bike!!

THANKYOU, THANKYOU, AND THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN!!! I'M TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW, ABOUT YOU!!!

Sincerely,

Gary Dixner (I'm just a little excited about this.)

Bikesdirect,

I received my Motobecane Team Le Champion two days ago. It appears
to be an excellent bike. I am in the process of dialing everything
in. There is no flex, the steering is on the money and it climbs
like a rocket. I stopped racing three years ago but I might take it
up again. There was no damage upon delivery and it went
together without a hitch. I had some reservations ordering over the
net sight unseen, but this has been a positive experience.

Thanks again.

Glen Wilkins
Pueblo West, Colo.

Thanks guys!

My Motobecane Fly 9357 arrived last night and this morning I can't stay
off of it! It's more mountain bike than I ever expected for the price.
Everything arrived in perfect order and assembly was a snap.

Thanks for the fantastic service,

Denton Morris

Thanks, Bikesdirect. The bike (Primal
Heatstroke) arrived yesterday afternoon, a few hours after I sent the
e-mail. I finished assembly, tuned/adjusted everything, and went for
a ride with my son. He LOVES the bike! We stopped by our favorite
shop to buy bottle cages, and the manager couldn't believe the bike we got
for the price. I've already bought two bikes from him, so he isn't
too upset I didn't get my sons from him. And I buy everything else
there, so he's always getting money from me. Too much, according to
my wife. Anyways, I'll write a nice letter for you to post on the
web site soon. Thanks for the great bike!

Sincerely,
John Cox

Hello,

Just a short note to say how much I really am enjoying my new primal
heatstroke. Even with the cold winter days here in Western PA I have
been able to squeeze in a few rides and couldn't be more happy with my
selection.

Thanks again,

Hey Bikesdirect,
I received my KHS 1000 on the 19th of September and I must say that it is
one fine machine. I have been riding it on some short trips and am very
pleased with the performance of this bike.
I must say that putting the bike together was quite simple and the
adjustments were minimal to say the least. When I ordered the bike I was
kind of apprehensive of getting a bike from a mail order house, but once I
received it I found out that not only was it a snap to put together but
also I saved over $550.00 from the local dealer-to me that's a great
bargain.
Once again it was great doing business with your company,

Dear
bd.com,

My husband, Stan, and I got our matching 700DS mountain bikes a few days ago. We took them to a
local shop here to have them assembled since neither of us has any experience with bicycle
assembly.
The guy in the shop was VERY impressed with them and couldn't believe how little we paid
for them. When we looked around the his shop we were amazed at what a similar bike went
for there. (the guy even admitted that he hoped that his customers didn't find you).
Thanks for all your help and understanding with all our questions. I'll send you some pics
of us with the bikes on our vacation.

Dear Bikesdirect,
This is Daniel from Baltimore. Remember, I got a Motobecane 500DS mountain bike two
weeks ago? I just wanted to notify you, that I am completely satisfied
with the bike! It's a great riding experience! Probably the best I ever had on a bike.
In addition, the retired owner of a bike store here in Baltimore asked me
about the price of the bike, he suggested $1500.00!$!

Thanks again.

Dear Bikesdirect,
This is Daniel from baltimore mailing, remember, the guy who took your
offer of the 500DS. I never rode a sportier or rideable bike than the 500DS, it was really
great. However, after enjoying it for a month, it was stolen. You could understand
my disappointment.
I think my next bike (will contact you in spring) will be the same...
Yours,
Danielcaptainblaubaer@hotmail.com

Bikesdirect,

Just wanted to tell you that I got my 500 DS just over a week ago and I am
enjoying trail riding on it. I am blessed to have some fairly challenging
trails to ride on near my home with lots of trees, hills, ravines, and some
swampy areas also and the 500 DS seems to be the perfect fit for this type
of
riding. By the way, assembly was very easy.

Thanks,
Lynn M.

Dear bikesdirect.com

I must admit that I was somewhat hesitant about buying such an expensive
bike on-line but I gave it a shot. I have now but about 500 miles on
my Fuji Professional that
I got from you and am LOVING IT! There isn't a bike out there that
compares. What a ride!

Thanx Again,
Dave

Bikesdirect,

Thanks so much for your
patience. I received that bike yesterday around
noon...Too bad I was at work until 10:30 pm and couldn't build it up until
then. It's a sweet rig, definitely a worthy investment.

Just wanted to let you know how
much I appreciate your help. Thanks for
your patience with my constant, nagging questions. I will definitely be
recommending Bikesdirect.com to my friends and associates out here in South
Dakota; where triathlete bikes are only available through mail order or
internet.
Most Sincerely,

Mr. Sander,
The bike (Motobecane - Mirage ($319)) got here on Tuesday (7/17). The box was a
little beat up,
but the bike was not harmed. Took about 20 minutes to put the handle bars,
seat post and wheels on. Went on my first ride today, the bike rides very fast. I was surprised to find
such a nice bike for the price
you advertised, I'm glad I didn't go with the $900.00 bike at the local shop. I
was worried that it was going
to be "heavy", but it's a well built road bike and I'm mainly
using it for exercise. You provide an online bike
"heaven" for those of us who don't need the fancy racing bikes and
just want quality at an affordable price.

Thanks for replying to my email, I have
already recommend Bikes Direct to some of my friends and neighbors here in Stafford, VA.

Hi,

My name is Bill Boughner . I recently ordered the Motobecane Record.

I just wanted to say that I am very pleased with the bike!! I have received
several compliments
about this bike and seen some raised eyebrows when I told them the price.

I also went to my local bike shop and they informed me they could not get me the
same bike for less than $1000.00. So you weren't kidding about that either :-).

Anyway thanks again :-)

Bill

Just wanted to provide a little feedback on the
Peugeot Riviera a bought two months ago.
It is indeed a very good deal at $295.00. It took me a little while to get
the bike fitted out with
a rack, fenders, lights etc, but since then I have put over 150 miles on it
riding
to and from work.

The Nexus hub is nearly ideal for my urban commuting route due to it's
flexibility of shifting
while pedaling, coasting or even standing still. Shimano did a very good
job of choosing the overall
ratio coverage and spacing between gears, and Peugeot chose about the
right chainring / sprocket ratio. The gearing of the bike is 36, 42, 48, 56, 65, 76, 88 gear-inches. This gives a
reasonable low gear, and a top gear
allowing 25 mph at around 100rpm cadence. The top gear is a little
optimistic with the 'cross tires provided,
but with high pressure street tires it should be useable.

Thanks for including the Shimano service bulletins on the shifter & brake
adjustment.

Thanks for your help.
Regards, Matt McGough

My husbands 50th birthday was this past Sunday and he was so
thrilled to
get a new bicycle (Peugeot Riveria) for his birthday. It was like watching
a 5 yr. old getting his first bike he was so happy and put it right
together without any problems.

He even took it for a spin in the rain when it was all assembled and that is something my husband would normally never do is ride something brand
new in the rain. I really agonized over whether to buy him a camera or a bicycle and I
certainly made the right choice. The next day in our local newspaper there
was an article about bicycles for the baby boomers!!

I will certainly tell anyone who wants to purchase a new bike about you
and what a nice experience it was purchasing from your company. You kept your
promise as to having a safe and reliable wed site and also had the bike
here safely packaged in the five days you promised. Thank you for all your
help.

Sincerely Diane M.

Bikesdirect,
I just received and assembled my bike yesterday and took it for a ride
this morning, it rides great. I am very pleased with the bike.

Thanks,
Brannon Buchanan

I am thrilled with the Fuji Blaster DX that I
ordered for my son. He loves his bike and can't wait to get
home everyday from school to ride it. I was very pleased with your service
and your price. I am now looking for a bike for myself. I am a novice looking for something to tool
around the neighborhood.
We live near the coast, so the terrain is very flat. what do you recommend?

My 700ds arrived yesterday. It was packed
with plenty of high density
foam wrapped around all painted parts and tightly zip-tied together. Not
a scratch on it! After cutting all the zip ties off, and some quick
assembly by my boyfriend (bars, wheels, seat and pedals), it was ready to
go.

I love riding this bike! It's very fun to ride and nothing had to be
adjusted (brakes or shifters). The welds on the frame are very clean and
the paint job (electric blue) looks great. I get compliments on this bike
whenever I ride it! This bike compares well with bikes twice the price. Thanks for your quick response to my emails. I recommend your bikes to
all my friends.

Bikesdirect,
Received my bike on Thursday March 23, 2000. Put it together that same evening
when
i got home from work. Today i took it out for a test run and the super
mirage is a fine machine. My biking friends were impressed. Very well built bike. It'll be in alot
of bike tours this summer.
James H. Derflinger

Hey Guys,
The Motobecane 800DS is great, and I still can't believe the price. I had a
Motobecane bike 20
years ago that I loved. Their quality is still the tops. Two of my friends are ordering bikes from you and I can guarantee I'll be
sending you more. At last I've found a use for the Internet!!

Sorry for the delay in forwarding the pics to you. (I have about 100 more if you
need them.)
As you may recall, I'm the guy from Virginia that was the rare individual that
had a problem with the ordering
of the Super Mirage for my daughter Heather.

The family did our vacation in Wisconsin the end of July, going about 450 miles
in the week.
Absolutely beautiful country side. The bike worked out great.

The two pics are 1) the family, P.D. (me), my wife Kate, daughter Heather, and
son Kyle; and 2)
a spectacular pic of heather centered under an unbelievable rainbow. It was
actually a double rainbow.
I took the picture a little late, but you can possibly see the second one on the
right side of the picture frame. I had this one blown up to a 12 x 20 and framed
to give to Heather for a Christmas present. May even enter it in a photo contest
if the opportunity presents itself.

The trip was fantastic. Other than the shower that caused this rainbow,only one
other day of rain.
A great vacation. Hope bikesdirect is going well for you.

P.D. O'Keefe

The bike came today, I got it setup and
running. My son
loves it, hopefully tomorrow I can swipe it from him and hit the
trails. I'm sure you'll hear from us soon, my wife is bugging
for a new bike.
Gerry Mayvtmay@sover.net

Well, we are extremely happy with our purchase
and the price was the
determining factor. We plan on ordering from you again in the near
future. Thanksmikekollar@prodigy.net

The Motobecane DS 600 has arrived. The box
looked pretty beatup when
delivered it to our house. Writing on the box stated it had been repacked
with clear packing tape over exposed areas of the bike carton had me and my
wife thinking of refusing the delivery. I felt this was a problem and put
faith in your company as to how you pack your bikes for shipment. We opened
the box and thankfully the bike looked ok with your cardboard packing wrapped
around the painted frame. I put the bike together according to your mailed
directions, which were a great help. The bike came through ok due to your
careful original packing. This bike has been to a bike mechanic friend for
final adjustments and he told my son that if you take care of this bike it
will last you twenty years. Thank you for running a good customer service
oriented company.
Sincerely,
Ron SeguinJNRS503@aol.com

bikesdirect.com,
The bike is great, it was easy to put together since most of it was already
done. A few adjustments and I was down the road. It was Great to be back on a
bike again. The bike not only looks good but is sweet to ride. Thanks for the fast and easy way to order. I will be passing your WEB site
along to others that might be interested.
Thanks again.
DanMScorps@aol.com

Bikesdirect,

The bike arrived yesterday. The 600 DS is great and I was happy to see
the upgraded rear Derailleur. I am recommending bikesdirect.com to
everyone I know that is looking for a bike.

Bikesdirect,
the Bike is here. Just arrived, 10:40 am. The boy will be elated. There was a large hole in each side of the box but the guy (who I
know) and I, took it from the box and we did not see any damage. I will have my older son put it together today before school is out.
Thanks again Bikesdirect, I'll let you know in a few days how he likes it.
Walt driller@wirefire.com
PS If you need anything in this part of the country give me a call.

Hi Bikesdirect,
Well he does love the Bike. I had my son take it down to the local Bike
shop and he tuned it all up, as you suggested in the letter I received
today. I will pass along the information every time I get the chance and
hope to sell a few bikes for you.
Thanks again,
Waltdriller@wirefire.com

We did receive the upgraded pedals. Thank you for your
extra effort. We
are very pleased with the quality and value of our Motobecane 400DS's. They get alot of attention here in Spain. Thanks again!!!

I wanted to thank you for the really nice
700ds. It was of much higher
quality than I expected. I had been looking in bike shops for a month
or two and could not find anything for near your price.

Everything was packed neatly and easy to put together with your
instructions. The only tiny problem I had was cutting the several cable
ties that held the front wheel to the frame in shipping. They were
clamped so tight that I managed to puncture the tube in the front tire
while being ultra careful not to scratch the frame. A trip to the bike
store and 3 bucks and I was on my way!

I really liked getting what I wanted with no hassle. Being a middle-aged women is a sure fire way of being
condescended to by some
18 year old bike store clerk. I've had really great luck ordering stuff
over the internet, and this is just another good experience to add to
many others. Now all I have to do is get my boyfriend to get out from
behind his computer, buy a bike and go riding with me!

Thanks Again,
J. Holzman

Dear Bikesdirect,

I was going to wait and write you as
soon as I finished evaluating this beast. This is one "sweet" ride.
I started out just running the levee's near my house which offer some thrills,
mistakes in cornering
are rewarded with water hazards. Then proceeded to do some pretty rough
stuff along the Truckee River,
up by Reno, NV. Nothing much, big boulders, cliffs, lose rocks and dust.
Today I did the entire
downtown area of Reno. Concerts, bands, food stands, slow moving old people, and
congested traffic.
Perfect test for agility and ease of control. It not only turned out to be the
best way to see the events,
It was an awesome ego booster. Everyone I mean everyone was in awe over
its high tech looks and
perfect finish.

So far the bike is far more advanced
than I ever dreamed. I am very pleased with the combination of
components and light frame. There are a few upgrades which I will be doing, but
they will all be so
minor that the bike is just a plain steal at your prices. The adjustable stem is
great, how can you possibly
live without one. My hat is off to you and your crew. You assembled the bike
really well. I have done only
minor adjustments to the brake tension and the end bar positions. Tuned the
suspension for my weight
and off I rode. Other than that It went together quickly, all, I mean ALL gears
are flawlessly in tune.
Has not slipped a cog yet. I believe this is one of my best purchases in the
sports recreation toy category,
Lots of fun and exercise for the money. Keep up the great work.

Thanks,
Roger

P.S. Your personal service on the
phone, via web and after the sale was very much appreciated. HEY,
but what's with the manual,, WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN MANUALS !!!! hahahaha,
Heck I had been
riding it a week when I noticed that you had mailed them.

Hello Bikesdirect

I wanted to let you know that the Mirage that I
ordered from you works great. I took it on a 65 mile ride
and enjoyed every minute with the bike. It is light and fast. It also deals well
with hills. I found your
customer service to be the best it could be and I would recommend your service
when ever possible.
Thanks again.
Carl La Rue

Bikesdirect, the bike came last Wednesday
(five working days as promised) and I couldn't be happier with it, and with your operation.
You're pros, and you sell a good product at a good price. You can bet I'm recommending you
to my friends here in Kentucky. I've turned at least one friend on to bikesdirect.com
who's probably going to order that 650 DS special you have going. Thanks again for a great
deal. This was my first venture into buying via the Web, and it was a good one all around!spayton0@hotmail.com

Bikesdirect, It really great!
I love my new 650DS and I'm recommending it to others! Michael E. Greenberg, Ph.D."

Bikesdirect,

Excuse me, The Motobecane bike
arrived tonight. It was a late arrival, I have not been as excited since the
day we purchased a 30' Catalina sailboat. I can not believe the quality of the
bike. WOW! THANK YOU. My wife said I was crazy to buy over the internet sight on seen oops! She was
mistaken.

George Rooney

Hi Bikesdirect

Just a note to let you know that the
ladies Fuji Cambridge in Iris Mist arrived today in good shape. I've assembled it and my
daughter is already riding. Thanks for your help and when the opportunity arises I'll
recommend your business.
Thanks Mark

Dear bikesdirect.com,
I just bought one of your Motobecane 650DS bikes and I brought it to work. 3
guys at work liked it so much
they all want to buy one now. None of them has a credit card or email and my
credit card doesn't have to
room on it. I printed a order form for them and they are getting money
orders. Is there anyway you could
save bikes for them if I email you with what they want? I hope to hear from you
soon.

Craig

The bike (Motobecane 650DS) is MUCH
better looking than the picture, everyone remarks on how great the blue color looks
(picture doesn't do it justice!).

Michael Greenberg

Bikesdirect,
I am very pleased with the Mongoose I purchased from your company. It
only took a few days to arrive and putting it together was fairly easy. I took it out on a ride the day I received it. There is a big difference
in the way it rides to my old bike. I have told other people looking for a good bike at a good price to
check out your web page. I'm glad I did.
Thanks a bunch.

John A.

Bikesdirect,

My bike arrived on Friday ...like
you said it should. I took it to Holland's Bike here in town to put together. It is so
beautiful. I rode it home today! The whole experience has been wonderful. Thank you!

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW HOW PLEASED I AM WITH MY RECENT
PURCHASE OF A
MOTOBECANE MIRAGE FROM YOUR COMPANY. THIS BICYCLE IS A DREAM TO RIDE, AND I
AM THRILLED WITH IT'S PERFORMANCE AND INCREDI BLE VALUE. I WILL RECOMMEND
BIKESDIRECT TO ANYONE IN MY RIDING CLUB WHO IS LOOKING FOR QUALITY AND
VALUE.

THANKS AGAIN!
RICHARD MILLS, LYNN,MA.

Hi Bikesdirect!
I got my Motobecane this past week and took it out for a test spin Sunday.
Loved it!

Jan

Great web site, easy to use...and the prices!! .
I just ordered the Motobecane 700DS.
Jeff Hoffman

Hello Bikesdirect

It has been sometime since I have had a questions for you. Let me say that the
Motobecane Mirage that I got from you is working great and has been a great joy
to ride.
I even get comments about the bike. I am hoping that some of the people that
have asked my where
I got it have been in contact with you.

Thanks
Carl La Rue

Hi Bikesdirect,
My new blue bike "Motobecane 400 DS" just arrived this afternoon -- beautiful
blue color. My daughter's boyfriend put it together, and my husband cut
about 2 inches off the seat bar.
I rode it around our street, and it rides fantastic. Both by son and my
daughter's boyfriend tried it out, too. They were really amazed how smooth
the ride felt. They couldn't believe the price either. you were right.
I did cut off about another inch off the seat bar because I could still
barely touch the ground with my tiptoes -- really had to stretch. Now it
feels more comfortable. I can always raise the seat up later if I want to.
Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me on the phone on the 6th of
June. I really appreciated all the advice you gave me to help me get a
"comfortable" bike. I know I am going to have fun with this bike.
Sincerely,

Just a little note that I received the package in once piece. I am very
impressed with the appearance, quality and the price of the Motobecane
Record road bike. I have been riding it frequently and no problems.
Thanks so much.

Dear bikesdirect.com
A friend came over to help me put the bike (Motobecane Super Mirage) together - it's
perfect, and my
friend was VERY impressed with the quality of bike I got for the price! Thanks for putting a bike like this in my price range!! :)

Gentleman,

I recently purchases a Fuji Newest Bike from you and I am having the
time of my life with it. It is everything that the reviews said that it
would be and more.

Hi, Bikesdirect, you shipped my bike
to me on May 22, and I just wanted to say
thanks and how much I love it. It is now many years (too many) since
my
Motobecane Mirage was stolen in downtown Minneapolis on my 21st birthday. Now, after college, graduate school, two mortgages, 3 children and in my
second marriage, the feeling I get when riding my new Motobecane, (well
after I got used to the clip ons), is being 21 all over again!

Bikesdirect,
Just wanted to let you know that I was very impressed with your service
and the bike (Motobecane Record). It arrived very quickly after it was ordered. The rear wheel quick release
had poked through the shipping box --
but there was no damage. I was able to quickly put the bike together, test
brakes and shifting on the stand, put on some Performance SPD road pedals,
and take it out on the road. I was really surprised everything was adjusted
so well. I really feel like I got a real bargain!! I've passed your name
on to several of my friends because it's not often these days that you get
great service and good quality. Thank you!!

Bikesdirect,

Thanks so much for your patience. I received that
bike yesterday around noon...Too bad
I was at work until 10:30 pm and couldn't build it up until then. It's a
sweet rig, definitely a
worthy investment. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your
help.
Thanks for your patience with my constant, nagging questions. I will definitely
be recommending
Bikesdirect.com to my friends and associates out here in South Dakota; where
triathlete bikes are
only available through mail order or internet.

My 800DS arrived today and was packaged well. It
was a bit of challenge
to assemble as I'm an old roadie who last built a bike in 1980. The new
technology is great. I took it for a spin this afternoon
and the wheels were dead-on true with all derailleurs, shifters, and
brakes working smoothly.

Sincerely,
Kenneth D. Hency

Dear Bikesdirect,
I am writing to thank you for the wonderful bike !
I can not tell you how much I enjoy it....I haven't been on a bike for 5
years....have been riding a YZF Yamaha and getting fat :(
Now I ride to and from the train and commute on it daily...about 25 miles .
It is almost a wonderful as Woody Allen's "Orgasmatron" from the old
movie ! :)
Fat is melting and heart and lungs are telling me "Hey give it some
time" . I am very satisfied and having a blast.
Thanks again,
Rick Kingsbury
PS. If you ever need a referral just drop me a note !

Bikesdirect,
I received my bike today and am very excited with it. I am very sorry for being such a
nuisance, I was just
very excited to receive my bike. Thank You very much
again.
Thank You, Stephanie Bozick

The Motobecane Le Champion was
delivered today, all seems to be as
advertised. It is together and on the trainer, now if the rain stops I
can hit the road. You will no doubt get an order from a friend, Nick
very soon. Thanks for the bike and the fast delivery. Gary

I just bought one (Motobecane Grand
Sprint) and its wonderful. Thanks Mike.

Bikesdirect,

I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for the great service you provided
throughout the purchase of my bike. Shipping was fast, credit toward the Fuji
bike was done promptly and above all your courteous and personal touch in
responding to email-messages(on time). Bikesdirect.com is as close as an
internet bike shop can be to a real bike shop.

Jean Forichon

PS I will order the sandblaster in June for my daughter. It is for her July
birthday.

As planned I received my Fuji Newest today. Thank you for
putting up with
a paranoid e-mail shopper (not to mention my e-mail provider). The bike came out of the box in great order and was easy to put together.
I took it for a rider not an hour after opening the box. The shifting was
right on and all is well.

Thank you,
Dale Dorvinen

Dear Bikesdirect,
I just received my Motobecane "Le Champion" today. It was well
packed and well protected and arrived in perfect condition. The color
was even better than as it appeared on the web site. Can't wait to get
it assembled and take a ride.
Thanks a lot.
Tom

Bikesdirect -
Just a quick note to let you know that my Fuji Team arrived in good shape.
It is a truly beautiful bike -- now if the snow would just go away! Thanks
again - I'll will recommend you to all my friends!

-Matt Miller

Bikesdirect,
Sorry to have been so long writing to thank you for the excellent service. We
have now ridden the Super Mirages about 500 miles,(it's cold here) and love them.
WHAT A DEAL!!Thanks
again, the bikes are a "steal" and the service is wonderful.

Bikesdirect,

I just wanted to let you know that i just received my Primal Heatstroke road
bike.I am 6'1" tall and weigh 245lbs as a competitive bodybuilder and
triathlete I need a bike that is light weight and super strong,I now have it in
the Primal Heatstroke.I took it to performance bike shop in Beaverton, Oregon to
have the final adjustments completed.
When i told them how much I paid for it they were blown away. When they
mentioned to me that they did not know that Primal made a road bike I told them
that this is a limited edition.They are still shocked !!!!!!!!!! You have a great place for people to purchase bikes at unbelievable prices.
Again thanks so much!

Thank you having a great company online. I believed that
would not ever find well build one speed bicycle again. Because vision problems, I am unable ride mutispeed bicycles. I use my
bicycle to get exercise and deliver newspapers.
So keep up the good work .

Bikes Direct offers quality and affordable bikes that get you way more bang for your buck than at your local bike shop.

I needed a new commuter bike and bought a Motobecane Vent Noir from Bikes Direct and it's been a very good experience.... I got a very smooth riding, beautiful bike that has a carbon fork and Tiagra/105, at a time when you pretty much have to spend at least a grand to get anything other than Sora from Trek, Specialized and all the other top brands.

I got good Ritchey stem/handlebars/seat post same as on my carbon race bike. Nice Vuelta wheels and nice tires. The seat is a bit mushy but fairly standard for bike in this price range. Handlebars came with an extra spacer and a longer stem so I could raise it beyond the factory setting. This bike even came with SPD pedals, for an additional savings from not having to purchase separately.

The bike came quickly and was very well packaged. No damage whatsoever even though the box took a beating....how much you'd have to shell out to get a comparable bike from Trek and other companies. And I can vouch they are right having owned or ridden said Treks, Specialized, Giants or high-end Schwinns.

...I endorse this store and experience completely.

Hey! Sorry For Late Reply, For I Have Been Busy.

I received the item on the 9th of February as posted in the Tracking. The box came in perfect condition! The item itself was in great condition as you have assured me. It took me about 1 hr to put it together since I wanted to make sure everything was perfect.

I have taken it for a 10 mile ride today and it was flawless! Very quick and Very smooth. Thanks For Such A Great Bike! Surely A Price That Can't Be Beat!

Very Satisfied Customer. Will Refer Anyone Looking For Bikes To Your Page!

Regards,
Tony

Thank you so much!
I absolutely love my new bike! I got to take it for a couple rides so far and it is so smooth. It has been the envy around the office lately as well.

Many people told me that I got an awesome bike for a really great deal. I normally am quite the “customizer” as I had originally intended on painting it and changing out all of the parts (I chose this frame because I really liked the fork) but seeing it in person made me change my mind. It is the perfect shade of green and the white decaling is pretty slick looking too. Now I have reconsidered and decided that I will only paint it after I’ve taken enough spills that I ruin the paint.

Thank you again for helping me out. I really appreciate it!

Best Regards,

Laura

Dear BikesDirect,

Recently I became interested in road biking. I own 2 quality mountain bikes and with little knowledge about this area of biking, I attempted to learn where I might buy a moderately priced (about $1,000) road bike. After visiting a few local bicycle shops, and pricing their various stocks, I felt I might secure a better 'deal' on the Net.

Your shop was recommended and after speaking with one of your helpful telephone representatives, I ordered the Knight Windsor model (54). I was pleased to learn that the bike which normally sold for $1,800., was on sale for $900.00. I've received my bike and was further pleased to receive a telephone call from one of your technicians with a follow up check on my satisfaction.

It's gratifying to know there are still merchants who deliver what they promise and I would hardily recommend your shop to anyone interested in buying a new bike.

Keep up the good work.
Alan Lundy

Dear BikesDirect,

I just wanted to drop a quick note to say thanks and commend you on a superb operation.

I approached buying a major item (like a high quality bike) on-line with a bit of trepidation.
But, I have been pleasantly surprised by every aspect of this transaction.

The process of ordering the bike, the immediate email confirmation, tracking while being shipped all helped to ease my mind.
When I rec'd the bike (just 4 short days after ordering) I was again impressed with the meticulous packing job.
The bike arrived without a scratch, was assembled without a glitch and has already provided me with hundreds of trouble-free and amazingly smooth, fast miles.

The Windsor Kennet is a fantastic bike and an outstanding value!

I tested C'dale Optimo's, Trek OCLVs, Fuji X-Fusions, Orbeas, LeMonds and others before settling on the Windsor. I most definitely made the right choice.

This is one amazing bike.
I have quickly become an enthusiastic promoter of BikesDirect in general and Windsors in particular.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have received my Motobecane Le Champion Team Road Bike. I am pleased
with the way the bike was shipped (no problems). I had my friend (a bike mechanic)
set it up for me. Everything was Ok. Road the bike several times and LOVE it.

Can't beat
the price, full bike with Dura Ace 10 for only 1795!!! This bike rides better then
my TREK Carbon! Thanks for a great deal!!!!

Happy and Satisfied Customer,

Donovan Flynn

Just wanted to send a quick message to let you know that the bike is fantastic.
I purchased the Mercier Draco AL with the full Ultegra groupo. I went on a 30 mile ride with some friends this weekend to dial the bike in and it bike performed even better than I expected.
The acceleration was quick, the handling was agile, and it was very comfortable.

As for Bike's Direct, I will recommend you to all of my friends due to your courtesy, customer support, and quality of product.
I received the bike within a couple days of ordering and the assembly was quite easy.
The bike was exactly as described on your web-site.
Please feel free to post my comments on your web site as an endorsement and testament to your business.
Take care.

Tim Seguy

I got my bike and took it for the first ride today and its great!
Its fast, smooth and light.

A super bike for the LOW price. IM going riding again tomorrow.
Thanks for the speedy shipping also.
Well packaged, not
a scratch.

I received my new bike last Thursday and assembled it right away, I took it
in for some final adjustments and the bike was ready to go. On Sunday I rode
it for the first time, 80 miles. It felt fantastic.

My friends were
impressed that I paid so little for such a good bike, and the kind of
components that it came with.
Thank you

Tim A.

WOW!!!! I just got finished with a final tune and about a 5 mile ride
(my third 5 mile trip of the day). The bike is incredible. Everything that I expected, and more!!

I looked at several local bike dealerships, and as expected my desire for; 7005 aluminum frame DB,
mid level shimano 105 components, OCR style wheels, clipless pedals and carbon fiber fork road bikes,
were in the $1000.00 to $1300.00 dollar range. All of those bikes were pre tax and sans clipless pedals.
That means the price was actually in the $1150.00 to $1500.00 dollar range.
I had the same quality road bike on my door-step for $745.00. "That's what I'm talkin' about!!!!"

Thanks for the excellent, and easy purchase of an equally excellent road bike!!

THANKYOU, THANKYOU, AND THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN!!! I'M TELLING EVERYONE I KNOW, ABOUT YOU!!!

Sincerely,

Gary Dixner (I'm just a little excited about this.)

Bikesdirect,

I received my Motobecane Team Le Champion two days ago. It appears
to be an excellent bike. I am in the process of dialing everything
in. There is no flex, the steering is on the money and it climbs
like a rocket. I stopped racing three years ago but I might take it
up again. There was no damage upon delivery and it went
together without a hitch. I had some reservations ordering over the
net sight unseen, but this has been a positive experience.

Thanks again.

Glen Wilkins
Pueblo West, Colo.

Thanks guys!

My Motobecane Fly 9357 arrived last night and this morning I can't stay
off of it! It's more mountain bike than I ever expected for the price.
Everything arrived in perfect order and assembly was a snap.

Thanks for the fantastic service,

Denton Morris

Thanks, Bikesdirect. The bike (Primal
Heatstroke) arrived yesterday afternoon, a few hours after I sent the
e-mail. I finished assembly, tuned/adjusted everything, and went for
a ride with my son. He LOVES the bike! We stopped by our favorite
shop to buy bottle cages, and the manager couldn't believe the bike we got
for the price. I've already bought two bikes from him, so he isn't
too upset I didn't get my sons from him. And I buy everything else
there, so he's always getting money from me. Too much, according to
my wife. Anyways, I'll write a nice letter for you to post on the
web site soon. Thanks for the great bike!

Sincerely,
John Cox

Hello,

Just a short note to say how much I really am enjoying my new primal
heatstroke. Even with the cold winter days here in Western PA I have
been able to squeeze in a few rides and couldn't be more happy with my
selection.

Thanks again,

Hey Bikesdirect,
I received my KHS 1000 on the 19th of September and I must say that it is
one fine machine. I have been riding it on some short trips and am very
pleased with the performance of this bike.
I must say that putting the bike together was quite simple and the
adjustments were minimal to say the least. When I ordered the bike I was
kind of apprehensive of getting a bike from a mail order house, but once I
received it I found out that not only was it a snap to put together but
also I saved over $550.00 from the local dealer-to me that's a great
bargain.
Once again it was great doing business with your company,
Joe Sharon

Dear
bd.com,

My husband, Stan, and I got our matching 700DS mountain bikes a few days ago. We took them to a
local shop here to have them assembled since neither of us has any experience with bicycle
assembly.
The guy in the shop was VERY impressed with them and couldn't believe how little we paid
for them. When we looked around the his shop we were amazed at what a similar bike went
for there. (the guy even admitted that he hoped that his customers didn't find you).
Thanks for all your help and understanding with all our questions. I'll send you some pics
of us with the bikes on our vacation.

Tami

Dear Bikesdirect,
This is Daniel from Baltimore. Remember, I got a Motobecane 500DS mountain bike two
weeks ago? I just wanted to notify you, that I am completely satisfied
with the bike! It's a great riding experience! Probably the best I ever had on a bike.
In addition, the retired owner of a bike store here in Baltimore asked me
about the price of the bike, he suggested $1500.00!$!

Thanks again.

Dear Bikesdirect,
This is Daniel from baltimore mailing, remember, the guy who took your
offer of the 500DS. I never rode a sportier or rideable bike than the 500DS, it was really
great. However, after enjoying it for a month, it was stolen. You could understand
my disappointment.
I think my next bike (will contact you in spring) will be the same...
Yours,
Danielcaptainblaubaer@hotmail.com

Bikesdirect,

Just wanted to tell you that I got my 500 DS just over a week ago and I am
enjoying trail riding on it. I am blessed to have some fairly challenging
trails to ride on near my home with lots of trees, hills, ravines, and some
swampy areas also and the 500 DS seems to be the perfect fit for this type
of
riding. By the way, assembly was very easy.

Thanks,
Lynn M.

Dear bikesdirect.com

I must admit that I was somewhat hesitant about buying such an expensive
bike on-line but I gave it a shot. I have now but about 500 miles on
my Fuji Professional that
I got from you and am LOVING IT! There isn't a bike out there that
compares. What a ride!

Thanx Again,
Dave

Bikesdirect,

Thanks so much for your
patience. I received that bike yesterday around
noon...Too bad I was at work until 10:30 pm and couldn't build it up until
then. It's a sweet rig, definitely a worthy investment.

Just wanted to let you know how
much I appreciate your help. Thanks for

recommending Bikesdirect.com to my friends and associates out here in South
Dakota; where triathlete bikes are only available through mail order or

Mr. Sander,
The bike (Motobecane - Mirage ($319)) got here on Tuesday (7/17). The box was a
little beat up,
but the bike was not harmed. Took about 20 minutes to put the handle bars,
seat post and wheels on. Went on my first ride today, the bike rides very fast. I was surprised to find
such a nice bike for the price
you advertised, I'm glad I didn't go with the $900.00 bike at the local shop. I
was worried that it was going
to be "heavy", but it's a well built road bike and I'm mainly
using it for exercise. You provide an online bike
"heaven" for those of us who don't need the fancy racing bikes and
just want quality at an affordable price.

Thanks for replying to my email, I have
already recommend Bikes Direct to some of my friends and neighbors here in Stafford, VA.

Hi,

My name is Bill Boughner . I recently ordered the Motobecane Record.

I just wanted to say that I am very pleased with the bike!! I have received
several compliments
about this bike and seen some raised eyebrows when I told them the price.

I also went to my local bike shop and they informed me they could not get me the
same bike for less than $1000.00. So you weren't kidding about that either :-).

Anyway thanks again :-)

Bill

Just wanted to provide a little feedback on the
Peugeot Riviera a bought two months ago.
It is indeed a very good deal at $295.00. It took me a little while to get
the bike fitted out with
a rack, fenders, lights etc, but since then I have put over 150 miles on it
riding
to and from work.

The Nexus hub is nearly ideal for my urban commuting route due to it's
flexibility of shifting
while pedaling, coasting or even standing still. Shimano did a very good
job of choosing the overall
ratio coverage and spacing between gears, and Peugeot chose about the
right chainring / sprocket ratio. The gearing of the bike is 36, 42, 48, 56, 65, 76, 88 gear-inches. This gives a
reasonable low gear, and a top gear
allowing 25 mph at around 100rpm cadence. The top gear is a little
optimistic with the 'cross tires provided,
but with high pressure street tires it should be useable.

Thanks for including the Shimano service bulletins on the shifter & brake
adjustment.

Thanks for your help.
Regards, Matt McGough

My husbands 50th birthday was this past Sunday and he was so
thrilled to
get a new bicycle (Peugeot Riveria) for his birthday. It was like watching
a 5 yr. old getting his first bike he was so happy and put it right
together without any problems.

He even took it for a spin in the rain when it was all assembled and that is something my husband would normally never do is ride something brand
new in the rain. I really agonized over whether to buy him a camera or a bicycle and I
certainly made the right choice. The next day in our local newspaper there
was an article about bicycles for the baby boomers!!

I will certainly tell anyone who wants to purchase a new bike about you
and what a nice experience it was purchasing from your company. You kept your
promise as to having a safe and reliable wed site and also had the bike
here safely packaged in the five days you promised. Thank you for all your
help.

Sincerely Diane M.

Bikesdirect,
I just received and assembled my bike yesterday and took it for a ride
this morning, it rides great. I am very pleased with the bike.

Thanks,
Brannon Buchanan

I am thrilled with the Fuji Blaster DX that I
ordered for my son. He loves his bike and can't wait to get
home everyday from school to ride it. I was very pleased with your service
and your price. I am now looking for a bike for myself. I am a novice looking for something to tool
around the neighborhood.
We live near the coast, so the terrain is very flat. what do you recommend?

My 700ds arrived yesterday. It was packed
with plenty of high density
foam wrapped around all painted parts and tightly zip-tied together. Not
a scratch on it! After cutting all the zip ties off, and some quick
assembly by my boyfriend (bars, wheels, seat and pedals), it was ready to
go.

I love riding this bike! It's very fun to ride and nothing had to be
adjusted (brakes or shifters). The welds on the frame are very clean and
the paint job (electric blue) looks great. I get compliments on this bike
whenever I ride it! This bike compares well with bikes twice the price. Thanks for your quick response to my emails. I recommend your bikes to
all my friends.

Bikesdirect,
Received my bike on Thursday March 23, 2000. Put it together that same evening
when
i got home from work. Today i took it out for a test run and the super
mirage is a fine machine. My biking friends were impressed. Very well built bike. It'll be in alot
of bike tours this summer.
James H. Derflinger

Hey Guys,
The Motobecane 800DS is great, and I still can't believe the price. I had a
Motobecane bike 20
years ago that I loved. Their quality is still the tops. Two of my friends are ordering bikes from you and I can guarantee I'll be
sending you more. At last I've found a use for the Internet!!

Sorry for the delay in forwarding the pics to you. (I have about 100 more if you
need them.)
As you may recall, I'm the guy from Virginia that was the rare individual that
had a problem with the ordering
of the Super Mirage for my daughter Heather.

The family did our vacation in Wisconsin the end of July, going about 450 miles
in the week.
Absolutely beautiful country side. The bike worked out great.

The two pics are 1) the family, P.D. (me), my wife Kate, daughter Heather, and
son Kyle; and 2)
a spectacular pic of heather centered under an unbelievable rainbow. It was
actually a double rainbow.
I took the picture a little late, but you can possibly see the second one on the
right side of the picture frame. I had this one blown up to a 12 x 20 and framed
to give to Heather for a Christmas present. May even enter it in a photo contest
if the opportunity presents itself.

The trip was fantastic. Other than the shower that caused this rainbow,only one
other day of rain.
A great vacation. Hope bikesdirect is going well for you.

P.D. O'Keefe

The bike came today, I got it setup and
running. My son
loves it, hopefully tomorrow I can swipe it from him and hit the
trails. I'm sure you'll hear from us soon, my wife is bugging
for a new bike.
Gerry Mayvtmay@sover.net

Well, we are extremely happy with our purchase
and the price was the
determining factor. We plan on ordering from you again in the near
future. Thanksmikekollar@prodigy.net

The Motobecane DS 600 has arrived. The box
looked pretty beatup when
delivered it to our house. Writing on the box stated it had been repacked
with clear packing tape over exposed areas of the bike carton had me and my
wife thinking of refusing the delivery. I felt this was a problem and put
faith in your company as to how you pack your bikes for shipment. We opened
the box and thankfully the bike looked ok with your cardboard packing wrapped
around the painted frame. I put the bike together according to your mailed
directions, which were a great help. The bike came through ok due to your
careful original packing. This bike has been to a bike mechanic friend for
final adjustments and he told my son that if you take care of this bike it
will last you twenty years. Thank you for running a good customer service
oriented company.
Sincerely,
Ron SeguinJNRS503@aol.com

bikesdirect.com,
The bike is great, it was easy to put together since most of it was already
done. A few adjustments and I was down the road. It was Great to be back on a
bike again. The bike not only looks good but is sweet to ride. Thanks for the fast and easy way to order. I will be passing your WEB site
along to others that might be interested.
Thanks again.
DanMScorps@aol.com

Bikesdirect,

The bike arrived yesterday. The 600 DS is great and I was happy to see
the upgraded rear Derailleur. I am recommending bikesdirect.com to
everyone I know that is looking for a bike.

Bikesdirect,
the Bike is here. Just arrived, 10:40 am. The boy will be elated. There was a large hole in each side of the box but the guy (who I
know) and I, took it from the box and we did not see any damage. I will have my older son put it together today before school is out.
Thanks again Bikesdirect, I'll let you know in a few days how he likes it.
Walt driller@wirefire.com
PS If you need anything in this part of the country give me a call.

Hi Bikesdirect,
Well he does love the Bike. I had my son take it down to the local Bike
shop and he tuned it all up, as you suggested in the letter I received
today. I will pass along the information every time I get the chance and
hope to sell a few bikes for you.
Thanks again,
Waltdriller@wirefire.com

We did receive the upgraded pedals. Thank you for your
extra effort. We
are very pleased with the quality and value of our Motobecane 400DS's. They get alot of attention here in Spain. Thanks again!!!

I wanted to thank you for the really nice
700ds. It was of much higher
quality than I expected. I had been looking in bike shops for a month
or two and could not find anything for near your price.

Everything was packed neatly and easy to put together with your
instructions. The only tiny problem I had was cutting the several cable
ties that held the front wheel to the frame in shipping. They were
clamped so tight that I managed to puncture the tube in the front tire
while being ultra careful not to scratch the frame. A trip to the bike
store and 3 bucks and I was on my way!

I really liked getting what I wanted with no hassle. Being a middle-aged women is a sure fire way of being
condescended to by some
18 year old bike store clerk. I've had really great luck ordering stuff
over the internet, and this is just another good experience to add to
many others. Now all I have to do is get my boyfriend to get out from
behind his computer, buy a bike and go riding with me!

Thanks Again,
J. Holzman

Dear Bikesdirect,

I was going to wait and write you as
soon as I finished evaluating this beast. This is one "sweet" ride.
I started out just running the levee's near my house which offer some thrills,
mistakes in cornering
are rewarded with water hazards. Then proceeded to do some pretty rough
stuff along the Truckee River,
up by Reno, NV. Nothing much, big boulders, cliffs, lose rocks and dust.
Today I did the entire
downtown area of Reno. Concerts, bands, food stands, slow moving old people, and
congested traffic.
Perfect test for agility and ease of control. It not only turned out to be the
best way to see the events,
It was an awesome ego booster. Everyone I mean everyone was in awe over
its high tech looks and
perfect finish.

So far the bike is far more advanced
than I ever dreamed. I am very pleased with the combination of
components and light frame. There are a few upgrades which I will be doing, but
they will all be so
minor that the bike is just a plain steal at your prices. The adjustable stem is
great, how can you possibly
live without one. My hat is off to you and your crew. You assembled the bike
really well. I have done only
minor adjustments to the brake tension and the end bar positions. Tuned the
suspension for my weight
and off I rode. Other than that It went together quickly, all, I mean ALL gears
are flawlessly in tune.
Has not slipped a cog yet. I believe this is one of my best purchases in the
sports recreation toy category,
Lots of fun and exercise for the money. Keep up the great work.

Thanks,
Roger

P.S. Your personal service on the
phone, via web and after the sale was very much appreciated. HEY,
but what's with the manual,, WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN MANUALS !!!! hahahaha,
Heck I had been
riding it a week when I noticed that you had mailed them.

Hello Bikesdirect

I wanted to let you know that the Mirage that I
ordered from you works great. I took it on a 65 mile ride
and enjoyed every minute with the bike. It is light and fast. It also deals well
with hills. I found your
customer service to be the best it could be and I would recommend your service
when ever possible.
Thanks again.
Carl La Rue

Bikesdirect, the bike came last Wednesday
(five working days as promised) and I couldn't be happier with it, and with your operation.
You're pros, and you sell a good product at a good price. You can bet I'm recommending you
to my friends here in Kentucky. I've turned at least one friend on to bikesdirect.com
who's probably going to order that 650 DS special you have going. Thanks again for a great
deal. This was my first venture into buying via the Web, and it was a good one all around!spayton0@hotmail.com

Bikesdirect, It really great!
I love my new 650DS and I'm recommending it to others! Michael E. Greenberg, Ph.D."

Bikesdirect: My wife received
her bike today and is thrilled with it. Thanks for delivering so quickly. Thanks, Roberto

Bikesdirect,

Excuse me, The Motobecane bike
arrived tonight. It was a late arrival, I have not been as excited since the
day we purchased a 30' Catalina sailboat. I can not believe the quality of the
bike. WOW! THANK YOU. My wife said I was crazy to buy over the internet sight on seen oops! She was
mistaken.

Hi Bikesdirect

Just a note to let you know that the
ladies Fuji Cambridge in Iris Mist arrived today in good shape. I've assembled it and my
daughter is already riding. Thanks for your help and when the opportunity arises I'll
recommend your business.
Thanks Mark

Dear bikesdirect.com,
I just bought one of your Motobecane 650DS bikes and I brought it to work. 3
guys at work liked it so much
they all want to buy one now. None of them has a credit card or email and my
credit card doesn't have to
room on it. I printed a order form for them and they are getting money
orders. Is there anyway you could
save bikes for them if I email you with what they want? I hope to hear from you
soon.

Craig

The bike (Motobecane 650DS) is MUCH
better looking than the picture, everyone remarks on how great the blue color looks
(picture doesn't do it justice!).

Michael Greenberg

Bikesdirect,
I am very pleased with the Mongoose I purchased from your company. It
only took a few days to arrive and putting it together was fairly easy. I took it out on a ride the day I received it. There is a big difference
in the way it rides to my old bike. I have told other people looking for a good bike at a good price to
check out your web page. I'm glad I did.
Thanks a bunch.

John A.

Bikesdirect,

My bike arrived on Friday ...like
you said it should. I took it to Holland's Bike here in town to put together. It is so
beautiful. I rode it home today! The whole experience has been wonderful. Thank you!

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW HOW PLEASED I AM WITH MY RECENT
PURCHASE OF A
MOTOBECANE MIRAGE FROM YOUR COMPANY. THIS BICYCLE IS A DREAM TO RIDE, AND I
AM THRILLED WITH IT'S PERFORMANCE AND INCREDI BLE VALUE. I WILL RECOMMEND
BIKESDIRECT TO ANYONE IN MY RIDING CLUB WHO IS LOOKING FOR QUALITY AND
VALUE.

THANKS AGAIN!
RICHARD MILLS, LYNN,MA.

Hi Bikesdirect!
I got my Motobecane this past week and took it out for a test spin Sunday.
Loved it!

Jan

Great web site, easy to use...and the prices!! .
I just ordered the Motobecane 700DS.
Jeff Hoffman

Hello Bikesdirect

It has been sometime since I have had a questions for you. Let me say that the
Motobecane Mirage that I got from you is working great and has been a great joy
to ride.
I even get comments about the bike. I am hoping that some of the people that
have asked my where
I got it have been in contact with you.

Thanks
Carl La Rue

Hi Bikesdirect,
My new blue bike "Motobecane 400 DS" just arrived this afternoon -- beautiful
blue color. My daughter's boyfriend put it together, and my husband cut
about 2 inches off the seat bar.
I rode it around our street, and it rides fantastic. Both by son and my
daughter's boyfriend tried it out, too. They were really amazed how smooth
the ride felt. They couldn't believe the price either. you were right.
I did cut off about another inch off the seat bar because I could still
barely touch the ground with my tiptoes -- really had to stretch. Now it
feels more comfortable. I can always raise the seat up later if I want to.
Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to me on the phone on the 6th of
June. I really appreciated all the advice you gave me to help me get a
"comfortable" bike. I know I am going to have fun with this bike.
Sincerely,
Rosa M.

To whom it may concern:

Just a little note that I received the package in once piece. I am very
impressed with the appearance, quality and the price of the Motobecane
Record road bike. I have been riding it frequently and no problems.
Thanks so much.

Nate

Dear bikesdirect.com
A friend came over to help me put the bike (Motobecane Super Mirage) together - it's
perfect, and my
friend was VERY impressed with the quality of bike I got for the price! Thanks for putting a bike like this in my price range!! :)

Therese Foote

Gentleman,

I recently purchases a Fuji Newest Bike from you and I am having the
time of my life with it. It is everything that the reviews said that it
would be and more.

Hi, Bikesdirect, you shipped my bike
to me on May 22, and I just wanted to say
thanks and how much I love it. It is now many years (too many) since
my
Motobecane Mirage was stolen in downtown Minneapolis on my 21st birthday. Now, after college, graduate school, two mortgages, 3 children and in my
second marriage, the feeling I get when riding my new Motobecane, (well
after I got used to the clip ons), is being 21 all over again!

Joyce Bledsoe

Bikesdirect,
Just wanted to let you know that I was very impressed with your service
and the bike (Motobecane Record). It arrived very quickly after it was ordered. The rear wheel quick release
had poked through the shipping box --
but there was no damage. I was able to quickly put the bike together, test
brakes and shifting on the stand, put on some Performance SPD road pedals,
and take it out on the road. I was really surprised everything was adjusted
so well. I really feel like I got a real bargain!! I've passed your name
on to several of my friends because it's not often these days that you get
great service and good quality. Thank you!!

Bikesdirect,

Thanks so much for your patience. I received that
bike yesterday around noon...Too bad
I was at work until 10:30 pm and couldn't build it up until then. It's a
sweet rig, definitely a
worthy investment. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your
help.
Thanks for your patience with my constant, nagging questions. I will definitely
be recommending
Bikesdirect.com to my friends and associates out here in South Dakota; where
triathlete bikes are
only available through mail order or internet.

My 800DS arrived today and was packaged well. It
was a bit of challenge
to assemble as I'm an old roadie who last built a bike in 1980. The new
technology is great. I took it for a spin this afternoon
and the wheels were dead-on true with all derailleurs, shifters, and
brakes working smoothly.

Sincerely,
Kenneth D. Hency

Dear Bikesdirect,
I am writing to thank you for the wonderful bike !
I can not tell you how much I enjoy it....I haven't been on a bike for 5
years....have been riding a YZF Yamaha and getting fat :(
Now I ride to and from the train and commute on it daily...about 25 miles .
It is almost a wonderful as Woody Allen's "Orgasmatron" from the old
movie ! :)
Fat is melting and heart and lungs are telling me "Hey give it some
time" . I am very satisfied and having a blast.
Thanks again,
Rick Kingsbury
PS. If you ever need a referral just drop me a note !

Bikesdirect,
I received my bike today and am very excited with it. I am very sorry for being such a
nuisance, I was just
very excited to receive my bike. Thank You very much
again.
Thank You, Stephanie Bozick

The Motobecane Le Champion was
delivered today, all seems to be as
advertised. It is together and on the trainer, now if the rain stops I
can hit the road. You will no doubt get an order from a friend, Nick
very soon. Thanks for the bike and the fast delivery. Gary

I just bought one (Motobecane Grand
Sprint) and its wonderful. Thanks Mike.

Bikesdirect,

I wanted to take a few minutes to thank you for the great service you provided
throughout the purchase of my bike. Shipping was fast, credit toward the Fuji
bike was done promptly and above all your courteous and personal touch in
responding to email-messages(on time). Bikesdirect.com is as close as an
internet bike shop can be to a real bike shop.

Jean Forichon

PS I will order the sandblaster in June for my daughter. It is for her July
birthday.

As planned I received my Fuji Newest today. Thank you for
putting up with
a paranoid e-mail shopper (not to mention my e-mail provider). The bike came out of the box in great order and was easy to put together.
I took it for a rider not an hour after opening the box. The shifting was
right on and all is well.

Thank you,
Dale Dorvinen

Dear Bikesdirect,
I just received my Motobecane "Le Champion" today. It was well
packed and well protected and arrived in perfect condition. The color
was even better than as it appeared on the web site. Can't wait to get
it assembled and take a ride.
Thanks a lot.
Tom

Bikesdirect -
Just a quick note to let you know that my Fuji Team arrived in good shape.
It is a truly beautiful bike -- now if the snow would just go away! Thanks
again - I'll will recommend you to all my friends!

-Matt Miller

Bikesdirect,
Sorry to have been so long writing to thank you for the excellent service. We
have now ridden the Super Mirages about 500 miles,(it's cold here) and love them.
WHAT A DEAL!!Thanks
again, the bikes are a "steal" and the service is wonderful.

Bikesdirect,

I just wanted to let you know that i just received my Primal Heatstroke road
bike.I am 6'1" tall and weigh 245lbs as a competitive bodybuilder and
triathlete I need a bike that is light weight and super strong,I now have it in
the Primal Heatstroke.I took it to performance bike shop in Beaverton, Oregon to
have the final adjustments completed.
When i told them how much I paid for it they were blown away. When they
mentioned to me that they did not know that Primal made a road bike I told them
that this is a limited edition.They are still shocked !!!!!!!!!! You have a great place for people to purchase bikes at unbelievable prices.
Again thanks so much!

Thank you having a great company online. I believed that
would not ever find well build one speed bicycle again. Because vision problems, I am unable ride mutispeed bicycles. I use my
bicycle to get exercise and deliver newspapers.
So keep up the good work .
